CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Broiler Pan and Grid
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.
Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out
grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and
rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-
filled or plastic scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent
while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth.
Soaking the pan will remove burned on foods.
Both the broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in
the dishwasher.
Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in the self-
cleaning oven.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere
in the range.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable,
but it is heavy. You may need
help removing and replacing
the door. Do not lift the door by
the handle. This can cause the
glass to break or can cause
damage to the door.
To remove the door, open it a
few inches to the special stop
position that will hold the door
open. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straight up and
off the hinges.
NOTE:
• Be careful not to place hands between the hinge
and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap
back and pinch fingers.
• While working in the oven area, cover the hinges
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent
pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel
on the frame.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the
special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom
of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the
door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull
them back out.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of the door:
• Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during
the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by
hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
• The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
soap filled scouring pad.
• Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and good baking results. If you
notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged
in any way or if it has become displaced on the door,
you should have it replaced.
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
Outside of the door:
• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,
sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You
may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the
outside of the door.
• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces
and basting materials containing acids may cause
discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
